Please give me your honest opinion. I am mostly concerned with content. I really need this scholarship. What do you think?
Write a brief essay (250 words maximum) on your goals and aspirations as they relate to your education, career, and future plans. Explain why you are a qualified candidate and should be considered for the scholarship.
I looked back at my professor wishing it was a hoax. I refreshed the webpage and rechecked my score. I shook my head in disbelief. I had failed my nursing exit exam. A retake was inevitable but my sense of pride as a "good student" was gone. I was crushed. My fighting spirit was all I had.
I am not new to failure and this, and many other failures, hasn't deterred me from achieving my goals. Coming from a family in Ghana that prides itself in hard work, I carry the hopes of a village at the mercy of preventable diseases. Having witnessed the death of many, I desire to become a Nurse. As a nurse, I will be able to help save lives through education, prevention and, counseling while providing patient centered care in the place I call home.
Currently a nursing student, I consider my passion and determination my greatest assets. I always strive to achieve my goals and it's not surprising that I am in the Honors Program with a GPA of 3.76, multiple community service hours and heavily involved on campus. My practice in the clinical setting speaks for themselves and this my clinical instructors can attest to.
Therefore, I am qualified because I possess the qualities worthy of an outstanding scholarship leader. With this scholarship, I can gain a career that I am passionate about and help save lives. Most importantly, I will be able to impact the world doing what I love.
